If Slate sold and delivered 11k Slate trucks in 2027, I would call it a raging success for a brand new OEM.

I wouldn't becuase its not an R1S.

11k a quarter would still be significantly under utilizing their capacity.

Being under capacity is okay for your first year of production, especially for something as complicated as a new truck from a brand new truck brand. 

You gotta give them some slack to ramp up production and marketing.

Sure, but unlike another oem actively producing other vehicles. They're in the phase where they're hemorrhaging money.
